An undescribed and overlooked species of Sloanea (Elaeocarpaceae) from the Ecuadorian Amazon

Abstract:

A new and rare species collected in Amazonian Ecuador, Sloanea jaramilloi, is described, illustrated, and its morphological similarities with other species of Sloanea is discussed. It resembles S. geniculata but is distinguished by the absence of persistent, adaxially concave stipules in the young branchlets, 4–6 sepals not covering entirely the reproductive organs of the flower, entire leaves, and the large, rigid, stout bristles sparsely distributed on the fruits.
